CHAPTER 27
Home

Warm naked bodies under the soft fabric, and the scent of after sex still lingering in the room. All in all, it was a beautiful morning to start their day.

"Good morning, baby," Sancho greeted huskily.

Ayla chuckled and closed her eyes again, pressing her body against his. Nakadagan ang isa niyang binti sa bewang nito.

"Cinacareer mo na ang pagtawag sa 'kin niyan, ah? Well, I like it."

So that Victoria will be pissed even more.

Sancho laughed and caressed her face. Napadilat siya at sinalubong ang magagandang mata nitong siya lang ang nakikita.

"You are the best thing that ever happened to me."

Hindi niya itinanggal ang pagkakatitig dito. Nanatili siyang tahimik sa pag-aakalang may idudugtong pa ito.

Nakangiti itong napakunot ng noo. "Don't you wanna say anything?"

"Akala ko kasi may sasabihin ka pa."

Natawa lang ito sa kanya at hinalikan siya sa kanyang noo.

"I mean it."

She shrugged. "I don't know. Am I really?"

He paused for awhile. "Syempre naman."

She sighed that had him worried.

"What's bothering you?"

She shook her head and traced the muscle definition of his shoulder.

"Your mom...she was right."

She heard him mumble, but she continued to speak.

"Because of me, you are not in Manila but here instead. If you're gonna tell me that it was your decision, yes, because I asked you to."

"Yes, you asked me. Pero hindi ko pinagsisihan 'yon. And I'm glad at pinigilan mo 'ko. "

Natigilan siya at napaangat ng tingin dito.

"Look, hindi ko na gusto na nag-iisip ka pa ng ganyan, okay? I never regret staying here. And I would never ever regret that I chose you, I told you that already. And lastly, don't listen to Mama."

He smiled when she smiled, and she rested her head on his chest. Smile turning into a grin, she took his last words seriously, plotting something she knew she would have fun.

Sancho went to school, and she was left in the house with Victoria. Makikipagkita siya kay Meredith sa araw na 'yon kaya nag-asikaso rin siya at nagbihis.

"I'm craving for menudo," she said as she sat on the chair at the dining.

Ibinaba ni Victoria ang binabasang magazine at sinalubong niya ang nanlilisik nitong mga mata.

"Why don't you cook for yourself?"

Natawa siya sa hangin. She fastened her hands and leaned on the table. Nasa harapan niya lang ito kaya diretso niya itong natitigan.

"Ilang beses ko pa ba kailangang itanong sa 'yo kung naaalala mo pa ang sinabi ng anak mo? Anything I need...anything I want, Victoria."

Victoria smirked as she sipped her tea. "You're using Sancho now, huh? You know, I spent the whole night thinking about how you're making everything under your control. Maybe you're just using the baby para mapaikot kami ng anak ko. What a tactic, dear. And you do it so well," she said sarcastically.

Nginisihan niya ito at pinagkrus ang kanyang mga binti at mga braso.

"Wow, that's so thoughtful of you. You spent the whole night thinking about me. Meanwhile, I shared the whole hot night with your son. I don't know if you heard us, but yeah, you know what I mean," she finished her sentence with a smirk that made Victoria flush in irritation.
